I have a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington ... He looks identical to his dad (an English fella) and Mom was a Chocolate Orpington. I don't happen to have any Chocolate Orpington, so I am not sure if I can get another of him, but I do have a Blue and a Lavender Orpington, and I'm testing out how the offspring turns out

...

- Besides his look, he's the most awesome Rooster I've ever owned. He is right now protecting 5 Hen (We had a loss of one recently). Like I mentioned, trying out for some of his offspring and I will update when they hatch (in a week or so).

What a handsome fellow. I hope you get lots of pretty babies like him. Let us know how the breeding to the blue and lav turns out. Sounds like fun.

Thanks! Can't wait to find that out myself.

So

Chocolate Cuckoo Rooster





+ Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington Rooster
Blue Orpington Hen



This is the result ... Lavender /Chocolate Cuckoo



And I don't plan on keeping him.

I am new to breeding but I have a lavendar hen and a cuckoo trio , if I breed them woll the boys only have the bars? And then I would have to breed back to get lav cuckoo hens?

Here is my lavender chocolate cuckoo cockerel... He is 4 months old, has giant feet, a sweet disposition, and just broke off the tip of his top beak.
